[hily 380]

rang 4 local gun shops (north/east) for some fed power shok 223 55 grn not only none in stock but 3 had no 223 ammo at all is there a shortage of 223 ammo or is it just the noth east area.So first does anyone now of a supplier who stocks what i want and secound is there a general shortage of rifle ammo in any caliber.

thought about reloading?

if you ask your local dealer to get you some and to keep a stock in you will buy them.....i know this doesn't solve the problem for now but it should be considered, and you could make an agreement that when he reaches a certain low point that he should order more, hopefully then the supply will never run out for you........

I'm not specifically aware of any "shortage" of any calibre at the moment..proably just the usual slack attitude of many RFD, ...........forgot!!

Riohog. i don't use that many but its a thought . thinks if anyone is reloading in my area i would be willing to supply spent ammo cases and to pay for reloads if theres no law against it.

I ordered 200 50gr American Eagles about 2 weeks ago, got a call on Thursday to go get them. I couldn't, sadly, because the M40 was dead. And now my car is dead, so I still can't
